Y'all should be thankful for the ending of the series. We would have won every game from 2001-2017. You missed playing us in the greatest decade of LSU football (01-11).
No doubt, I like it as the last game of the year.

Regardless of the reason for it ending 25 years ago, I'm glad the series has returned to a home and home every year. It has all the makings of a great matchup going forward.

Why would A&M agree to come to Baton Rouge every year without a return trip?
Probably the same reason Mississippi State did. LSU split gate revenue with State. State played in Baton Rouge every year until about 1972 with only a handful of times in Jackson.
Looks like twk's post covered it.

Which happened to coincide with one of the worst decades in A&M history. Thank God.

But what about '96-'00? Would you have come out of the doldrums in the 2000s if you still had that loss the first game of every year for 10 years running?

From the mid 30s to about 1970, LSU had the largest or second largest stadium in the SEC (probably the South) next to Tulane Stadium. That meant LSU could generate a metric shite-ton of revenue for each game. Therefore, LSU could offer opposing teams that had shitty home stadiums more money than they could make in their own stadiums and have LSU still come out ahead.
From 1936 to 1970:
State: 34 games, 31 in BR, 3 in Jackson, 0 in Starkville.
Mississippi: 34 games, 27 in BR, 3 in Oxford.
A&M: 22 games, 20 in BR, 0 in CS.

what you are saying is LSU has historically had the upper hand
Yep.

From their founding, to about 1930, and then following WWII to the 90s, LSU and A&M have had roughly equal male enrollment. I'm not sure why aggies always insist that women used to play college football.
Aggies LOVE to say this: "A&M was a small military school." However, the LSU website has this to say on its History of LSU page: "Louisiana State University began as a small all-male military school near Pineville, Louisiana."

Can you really not see the difference in being all male vs. coed? Especially getting into the 60s?

could just take aggie hallman's record out as well.

And who was a the Superintendent of this small all-male military school near Pineville? Why that icon of the south, (later GEN) William Tecumseh Sherman. Did you know his nick name was "Cump," pronounced like "gump?" Did you know his family moved to Indiana so his children could all attend Notre Dame? Did you know his son entered the Jesuit religious order?
All this is associated with LSU... Sherman (forage with extreme liberalism), Cump, Notre Dame, and the Jesuits. With that heritage, it is no wonder that LSU is a paranoid, conflicted school and fan base today.

And the compulsory service in the Corps.
When did A&M integrate blacks? LSU signed their first black player in 71.

OU owns football in the B12. Texass is just part of distant pack.
Out of all the programs considered to be “blue bloods” Texas has always been one of two that are a mystery to me. Sure, they’ve had Heisman winners, a bunch of all-time wins and conference titles in the old SWC but from a national standpoint they are the southern version of Michigan. Or to put it Texas lingo....they are all hat and no cattle!

Thank you. Interesting, never knew the history of A&M. I just figured they were always a larger school, even when they were all male.
Enrollment history, for comparison sake (women admitted and Corps made voluntary in late 60's). Before then, all athletes had to be in the Corps. Good luck with that recruiting.

You really think this status in the 1890's is the same as having it in the 50's and 60's, and that this did not affect recruiting and resources?
You are either trolling or a legitimate idiot.

One of the greatest military minds in the history of the US Armed Services, and our first modern general. Thank GOD he broke the back of that oppressive confederate government. Have you ever read their constitution? frick that shite, I love the USA! (Sorry you don't.)

Hey, jack, if you're really from NOLA, you'd have seen these on Carrollton Ave.:

Apparently you're far too fricking stupid to understand that much of Louisiana's population is Catholic. There's no conflict, no paranoia, just your obsession with LSU.

This whole thread and troll makes me sleepy 
Posted on 12/6/18 at 4:07 pm to GeauxPack81
Unfortunately every Aggie will respond to this with some type of troll attempt. It is who they have become.
To answer your question, Aggie land was a tiny insecure bastion of gay woman haters. We allowed them to come over to Baton Rouge to try to help them make a little cash.
They will also respond by saying that if you dont count x, if you discount y, and if you ignore Z..they are basically even with LSU or hell even ahead. Just dont count all the years they suck (and that is a lot of years)

No, no, no. We do get to take credit for successful insurrections. If Sumlin were an LSU guy, that would be fair.
Curley was a plant. Sunlin thought like one.
